UNBALANCE ERROR
The load is too small.
Add additional items to allow the washer to balance the load.
Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items.
Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning.
The load is out of balance.
Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled, preventing the automatic rebalancing from working properly.

Make sure that the hoses are not kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer. Be careful when moving the washer during cleaning or maintenance.

Clean the inlet filters. See MAINTENANCE.
Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low.
Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is adequate and flow is not restricted.
